H.R. 1908 is a big deal!

As an IP holder, I've been keeping a close eye on the House reform bill which effectively is kicking little guy innovation right in the balls. It's hard to believe this kind of stuff is happening right under our noses and most people aren't even aware. Innovation is the foundation the US was built upon and now this is seriously threatened.

If you have any interest in this issue, here's an excellent article written by William R. Hawkins, a Senior Fellow for National Security Studies at the U.S. Business and Industry Council.

"There is no urgent to need to change a patent system that has served the nation so well. And in fact, the system has ben reformed many times in the past 50 years ¡V by Congress itself, by Supreme Court decisions, and by rule-making changes introduced by the Patent Office. We need to allow these changes to settle in and see how they affect the patent system before uprooting it entirely with the proposed reform bill. It is better to have no "reform" bill than one that weakens the system's support for innovation and progress."
